The cure for the common cold

I've had the worst cold for two days but didn't want to take anything (medicine makes me sleep).  Last night my cousin told me that she has a trick for when she's completely stopped up like that.  She said to go get some chewable Vitamin C.  Take one two hours before bed.  Then right before bed, take a second.

I did that.  And this morning, my sinuses are clear and my head no longer feels weird.  She did say I should probably take a couple today also, which I haven't yet, but I'm still feeling good!

Re: The cure for the common cold

  • Thats great :) Im glad your feeling better. My reg. doctor always tells me to take zinc too and thats worked for me before along with the vitamin c.
  • Good to know! I'll have to try that next time. And I'm glad you're feeling better :)

  • I take Zinc every day anyway so I don't think it would have helped (I suppose I could have doubled my dose but I hate to take that much of zinc).

  • Yeah i dont remember the dosage but i always have to buy it at her office cause its so high the stores dont sell it over the counter. Glad you found something that works for you though.
  • It's funny you mention this - Greg's been horribly sick as well. Sad

    I've read the arguments as far as Vitamin C not helping and those that swear it does help.  I could care less - and usually take some extra when I'm sick anyway. LOL

  • Well, I promise it helped me!  I'm a new person today.  I was getting a little stuffy at lunch so I took one more, then another a few minutes ago and the stuffiness is gone again.

    It probably works differently on different people though.  IMO might as well try it since it's a pretty cheap fix!
